My neighbor owns cranes, so I have seen MORE than my share of heavy equipment. My fav was when he set one of his cranes in the back yard and extended the boom ~100ft. He had it higher, but was afraid of snagging planes:

Thank you for your email and the opportunity to explain the incident

that occurred between one of our customers and a security company

servicing an ATM in our Seattle store. It is unfortunate that the

situation escalated to the point that the police were called by the ATM

security officers and the customer was detained by the police. At no

time did REI detain the individual and we did not request a trespass to

be invoked. We do not intend to enforce the trespass issued by police,

and the customer is free to visit our store in the future.

We appreciate people sharing their varied points of view about what

should or should not have happened at the store. We regret that the

matter couldn't be defused before the police became involved. One step

we are taking is to discuss with the ATM security company ways to

prevent the circumstances that led to this problem.

We value your patronage and hope to serve your outdoor needs in the

future.

Best,

Bethany
